About this Event

🎬 The M Factor 2: Before the Pause


Screening & conversation hosted by Pandia Health

Appetizers and drinks, a powerful perimenopause documentary, followed by a candid, expert-led panel discussion.

Join us for appetizers and soft drinks, followed by a special screening of The M Factor 2: Before the Pause — a compelling documentary that brings long-overdue attention to perimenopause, the often misunderstood transition before menopause.

Perimenopause isn’t new — but the silence around it is.

Through honest, unfiltered stories and expert insight, the film exposes how women’s symptoms are routinely dismissed, how workplaces fail to account for women’s bodies, and how gaps in medical training leave too many without answers. The result is a powerful look at a life stage that can quietly disrupt health, confidence, and careers — or, when recognized early, become a turning point for clarity and control.

But this evening goes beyond the film.

Stay after the screening for a candid, expert-led conversation focused on what women wish they had known sooner, why the healthcare system still hasn’t caught up, and what real, evidence-based options exist today — without shame, confusion, or mixed messages.

Expect honest dialogue, practical takeaways, and a community that understands why this conversation matters.

Come for the drinks. Stay for the film. Leave informed, validated, and better equipped.
